Helvibotys helvialis?
Lacks dark red bordering outer margins of
Neohelvibotys neohelvialis
and st. band of similar
Hahncappsia spp.
but see comments
here
and
here
.
Subfamily for most potential
Hahncappsia
,
Helvibotys
,
Neohelvibotys
, and
Hahncappsia
might be best.

You were correct, sort of
I see now what happened. You based your ID on Mark Dreiling's image posted both at MPG and BugGuide
here
. BOLD originally had it assigned to
N. neohelvialis
but later corrected the error. I moved it at BugGuide and will inform MPG.
